Chapter 1393
John carried her into his arms.
Shortly after that, the duo disappeared from the balcony.
Sherry felt herself
deflating as the tension had escaped. her body at last but what replaced it was a hollow, empty feeling.
She sat on the ground and replayed
the interaction she had witnessed in her mind. She wore a tight grimace the entire time.
The b*stard John was a wonderful father to Caprice.
Such fatherly love was almost a foreign concept to Sherry considering her upbringing.
Caprice seemed to trust him wholeheartedly. Iit was a sharp contrast to how she completely failed to re
cognize her mother.
Amid the darkness of the night, a silver car swerved out of the parking lot of the clubhouse and made it
s way toward John’s house.
The driver and a bodyguard were seated at the front of the
car.
John sat in the back with Caprice in his arms.
Something seemed to be
on the child’s mind. Usually, she would be sound asleep by this hour but today she was
staring out the window with a transfixed look in her eyes.
John turned to her and asked softly, “Caprice, what are you thinking about?”
Caprice answered with a sparkle in her eyes, “There was this strange person.”
“Who is it?”
The child was not great at keeping secrets. She
immediately revealed what she had seen back there.
“She told me that she knew me, she even knows about Daddy, Grandma, Aunty, and everyone else but
I’ve never seen her before.”
John suddenly perked up with alert.
What? Who was this person?
He concealed the alarm in his eyes and asked softly, Caprice, was it someone you saw today?”
}}
He was by her side pretty much the entire night. Save for that brief duration when he let her play
by herself on the balcony
while he was inside. He doubted that she would have the chance to meet anyone outside of his
supervision at all.
Caprice seemed to have realized something and quickly covered her mouth with her palms.
John squinted suspiciously and leaned in close to her to whisper into her ears, “Caprice, I’m your
daddy. I’d share everything with you, so you have to do the same for me, shouldn’t you?”
Caprice seemed conflicted by this, she expressed worriedly, “But she doesn’t want you to find out.”
John was immediately
alarmed by this. Someone who did not want to risk being discovered by him? What did this person wan
t with Caprice?
He gently brushed Caprice’s cheeks and said patiently, Caprice, it might be
a bad person if they don’t want me to know about them. What if they hurt you?”
Caprice frowned. “She’s not a bad person, she’s very pretty! Her eyes were a little red but they were ve
ry bright, like shining stars.”
John scowled upon hearing this. Someone beautiful? Red eyes that seemed like stars?
“Also…” It seemed like Caprice was having a hard time trying to express what was on her mind.
John probed patiently. “What else? Do you think she’s trustworthy?”
“Mmmm.” She nodded fervently upon hearing this notion.
John grimaced, a sharp look flashed across his eyes. He
((
felt his emotions becoming turbulent immediately.
He subconsciously clenched his hand into a fist.
He quickly reached for his phone in his pocket and opened a specific album that was password protecte
He showed the photo to Caprice and asked, “Caprice, is this the person you’re talking about?”
Caprice took a look at the picture of Sherry.
John pursed his lips and held his breath.
There was nothing but a deathly silence inside the car. It was so quiet that they
could hear the wind gushing in from outside.
After several seconds, Caprice finally answered with a
firm nod.
She turned to look at John, her eyes mesmerizing as usual. “Daddy, do you know her? Who is she?”
John
smiled faintly, there was now an inscrutable look welling inside his eyes. Nobody could tell what was on
He told Caprice, “It’s a secret, I can’t tell you just yet.
Immediately after that, he turned
to the driver and ordered urgently, “Turn around! We’re going back to the clubhouse!”
